Pengembangan Bahan Ajar Pocket Book pada Pelajaran IPA Kelas IV SD Negeri 183 Pekanbaru

In school was unavaible teach materials which able to attract student interests. teach materials that ordinary being utilized is packet book. Student does not interest to studying science because packet book that being utilized is thick, many of texts and countain bit of picture and colour. Purpose of this research is to develop teach materials of pocket book in science of fourth grade in SD Negeri 183 Pekanbaru. Type of this research is development research that use 4 D model which consist of define, design, development and disseminate steps. Data of this research gained from result of expert validation, result of questionnaire response and result of student's pretest-posttest. Pocket book that being designed is given unto experts to see its expediency from material, loanguage, presentation and graphical aspects. Result of expert validations is categories very proper 87,8%. Afterwards pocket book examinated to student in IV A grade SDN 183 Pekanbaru to find out student response and increase N-gain. Experiment results being gained values of response categories very good 84,50% and N-gain 0,54 with medium interpretations which mean there is increasing study result before and after in order to pocket book. Last step to be done disseminate to know student and teacher response widely. Result of response on disseminate steps is category very good 86,68%. Based on that response pocket book that developed able to printed in many amounts and utilized by wider target

Sedation for Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Procedures in the Elderly: Getting Safer but Still Not Nearly Safe Enough

Previously published UK reports showed that excessively large doses of benzodiazepines and opiates were being commonly used to sedate elderly patients for gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. This unsafe practice has lead to avoidable morbidity and mortality. We have taken the opportunity provided by recent reports to examine whether GI endoscopy sedation practice in the elderly has improved in the light of this evidence and the publication of guidelines in which specific recommendations on sedation dosage are given

The Brain Reaction to Viewing Faces of Opposite- and Same-Sex Romantic Partners

We pursued our functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of the neural correlates of romantic love in 24 subjects, half of whom were female (6 heterosexual and 6 homosexual) and half male (6 heterosexual and 6 homosexual). We compared the pattern of activity produced in their brains when they viewed the faces of their loved partners with that produced when they viewed the faces of friends of the same sex to whom they were romantically indifferent. The pattern of activation and de-activation was very similar in the brains of males and females, and heterosexuals and homosexuals. We could therefore detect no difference in activation patterns between these groups

Herpesviridae Identification Method on Ruminants Through Molecular Method in Lampung Disease Investigation CENTER

Farming is one sector that has an important role in building Indonesia's economic growth, especially for daily food. Farm production is facing challenges, include the low production yield, traditional management, and problems related to animal health. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) and Malignant Catarrhal Fever (MCF) are diseases caused by Herpesviridae. These are high mortality rate disease cause huge economic loss. Farms located nearby deer captivity increases the risk of deer to be infected by the same diseases. Surveillance is needed to discover the number of infected animals and their effect on the environment. Herpesviridae identification in surveillance was done through an accurate method, e.g. a molecular method. This research is done by Lampung Disease Investigation Center and funded by the Food Agriculture Organization (FAO). Herpesviridae identification was done in three steps, DNA isolation, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), electrophoresis, and visualization

MULTIPARTICLE IDENTIFICATION WITH ISIS: TESTS WITH THE FULL APERTURE ISIS-1

Results are reported of a successful test of ISIS 1 in a particle beam. ISIS 1 is a full aperture (4 m*2 m) prototype of the particle identifier ISIS (Identification of Secondaries by Ionisation Sampling) , proposed for the European Hybrid Spectrometer (EHS) at the SPS at CERN. Using the 'relativistic rise' of the ionisation loss, electrons and pions at 500 MeV/c were identified with better than 99% confidence, the data containing typically 5-10 tracks per 'picture' drifted by up to 2 m. The ionisation resolution was 12-14% fwhm on 1 m of track and the two track resolution was 2 cm. These results, which agree with our predictions, indicate that ISIS 2 with 5 m of useful track length will be able to distinguish uniquely kaons and protons from pions of known momentum in high multiplicity interactions up to 50 and 100 GeV/c respectively.
